Darondo: Didn’t I Scrabble
Quickie today with a blend that hasn’t left my playlist for a week now. If you don’t know about Darondo by now you must get familiar as a matter of urgency. The original Didn’t I is undoubtedly one of the sweetest soul songs I’ve ever cupped my ear to and is night on perfect in itself. What makes this blend work so well is that the constructor recognises that less is most definitely more in this case and matches the song beautifully with Rene Costy’s Scrabble to deliver a slightly faster Darondo perfect for the dancefloor. So simple and yet so good.
I’ve been asking around about where this originated from but no one seems to want to own up for it. Happy to give credit if someone wants to step up (and a higher quality mp3 wouldn’t go amiss either).

I think somone on Soulstrut made and posted it.
I think the consensus was: don't mess with perfection (and I agree).
Yep I got it off Soulstrut a while ago, just don't seem to be able to trace who was responsible.
No doubting that the original is untouchable as far as perfection goes but, as a remix to play out, I'm still loving this blend.
Each to their own though.
I enjoyed the remix. Just because the original is better, doesn't always make a remix bad. Thanks for posting this…
my homie Trishes from Austria made this. http://www.myspace.com/trishes
